There's no economic angle right after a tragedy like this. It's not our story, but we can't ignore it. So we're gonna acknowledge it, trust that you've had your fill of it elsewhere and turn to our news of the day. It came this morning with a much-anticipated but kind of underwhelming report on inflation. It's up a bit, but nowhere near as drastic as we'd all expected it to be. Nevertheless, it's one more data point for policymakers to consider as they figure out how to steer this economy. As it happens, we have one of those policymakers on the show today: Robert Kaplan, president of the Dallas Fed. Plus, the cost of uncertainty at the White House and Netflix's latest big moves.

Congress hammered out a two-year spending plan just last week, after all. But the budget is still worth a read for some of the assumptions the Trump administration's making — like a decade of economic growth at 3 percent or more. We'll start the show by unpacking that and the White House's new infrastructure plan, and the math issues therein.

While the government shutdown a couple of weeks ago was about Congress failing to approve new money to pay for government services, the debt ceiling limits how much the Treasury can borrow to pay what we already owe.

As expected, the committee left interest rates alone for now, but signaled that hikes could come later this year if inflation picks up. That depends on wages, which we learned today are up 2.8 percent year over year. That's not great, but it's the best number we've seen since early 2015. We'll talk about that, plus the latest homeownership figures. Then: After tragedies like the shooting at a Kentucky high school last week, people and companies open their wallets to provide aid. After the mass shooting at a country music festival in Las Vegas last October, people donated more than $22 million. There are government programs, too, but deciding how to divvy up the money is becoming an unfortunately common challenge for communities.

There's a deal in place that'll get things back to normal by tomorrow morning. But what's "normal" even mean? We might be getting used to government run on a deadline, three weeks at a time or so, but that's not exactly "normal." And yet, the economy seems to be giving that not-normalcy a pass. That's where we're starting today's show. Then, we'll get the real issue underpinning the shutdown, one that hasn't been resolved yet: What's the vision for immigration in this country? President Donald Trump and some Republicans in Congress are pushing to dramatically reduce legal immigration to the United States, and to move the overarching concept from family reunification to a skills-based system. That means fewer workers in an already tight labor market, and it's making some businesses anxious. Plus, introducing our latest project: Divided Decade.MarketplaceMon, 22 Jan 2018 15:00:00 -0600http://www.marketplace.org/shows/marketplace/0122201800:26:04http://feeds.americanpublicmedia.org/~r/MarketplacePodcast/~3/ADav8A7Jaec/01222018http://www.marketplace.org/shows/marketplace/01222018https://play.podtrac.com/APM-Marketplace/play.publicradio.org/rss/d/podcast/marketplace/pm/2018/01/22/pm_20180122_pod_64.mp301/19/2018: Shutdown countdownAs we tape this, the United States government is hours away from grinding to a halt, barring a last-minute deal.

No federal budget, no government funding beyond the next day or so. There was a time when this state of affairs was brushed off as congressional legislators simply kicking the can down the road, that they'd come to their senses and be, y'know, responsible. But those days seem to be gone, and this economy's getting by on a never-ending series of four-week budget stopgaps. That's how we're starting the show today. Then: a check on the White House's infrastructure plan, which is expected in the next few weeks. Plus, we check back in on Erie, Pennsylvania, in our continuing series The Big Promise.MarketplaceThu, 18 Jan 2018 15:00:00 -0600http://www.marketplace.org/shows/marketplace/0118201800:25:50http://feeds.americanpublicmedia.org/~r/MarketplacePodcast/~3/Jk-QonWkEPc/01182018http://www.marketplace.org/shows/marketplace/01182018https://play.podtrac.com/APM-Marketplace/play.publicradio.org/rss/d/podcast/marketplace/pm/2018/01/18/pm_20180118_pod_64.mp301/17/2018: What's a "contribution" to the economy look like?You can add a certain device maker from Cupertino, California, to the list of companies crediting the new tax law for new strategic business decisions.

Apple announced today it would bring profits back from overseas and add a bunch of new jobs in the next five years. We'll kick off the show today by talking about what it all means. Then: President Donald Trump likes to take credit for gains in the stock market over the past year, but it's worth noting that economies and markets in Europe, China and Japan are booming, too. We'll look at the full picture. Plus, a conversation with BlackRock CEO Larry Fink. He just wrote an open letter to CEOs telling them to think not just about profits but about making a positive contribution to society.MarketplaceWed, 17 Jan 2018 15:00:00 -0600http://www.marketplace.org/shows/marketplace/0117201800:25:58http://feeds.americanpublicmedia.org/~r/MarketplacePodcast/~3/N2cpLU33REM/01172018http://www.marketplace.org/shows/marketplace/01172018https://play.podtrac.com/APM-Marketplace/play.publicradio.org/rss/d/podcast/marketplace/pm/2018/01/17/pm_20180117_pod_64.mp301/16/2018: Is "Catan" the next blockbuster?Sony Pictures hopes so.

The studio is making a bid for the rights to the bestselling board game.

First up: CHIP, which covers about nine million children, who are now in danger of losing that coverage. Congress failed to extend funding back in September, and the program will run out of money on Friday. That's the same day for a possible government shutdown, unless there's a broader agreement on funding. Then: Federal health officials are letting states impose work requirements on low-income Americans enrolled in Medicaid. Kentucky's first and other states are expected to follow, we'll tell you what you need to know. Plus, a new app is offering savings accounts with 5 percent interest and no fee.

The tax law's kicking it, companies are giving bonuses and raises, some raises anyway. But no. We'll talk about it. Then: T. Boone Pickens announced today he's hanging it up. He's pretty much the stereotype of the big-time oil man, with his Oklahoma-Texas drawl. He made more than a billion dollars in the energy industry and ran a hedge fund, too. We'll talk about his legacy. Plus: Facebook hasn't had the best week, and it capped it off with changes to the News Feed. We'll explain.

Walmart announced this morning it's gonna give some of its hourly workers a one-time bonus of as much as $1,000 and bump starting wages to $11. They also announced layoffs, it should be said. The White House was quick to take credit for the raises, which Walmart attributed to the tax bill. So what does that mean for the tax plan? That's the question that starts off today's show. Then: The Internal Revenue Service released its updated withholding tables today. Sounds like a snoozer, but it's a big deal. We'll explain.

Immigration was the headline news out of it, but the president floated something else that hasn't gotten as much attention: bringing back earmarks. They let members of Congress direct money specifically toward their pet projects, and the GOP basically banned the practice in 2010. We'll catch you up on why they left, and why they might be coming back.
